colleagues, sent a letter asking a lot of very tough questions about what happened in benghazi, the fbi can't get within 400 miles there to examine the evidence which is already being destroyed, so it's going to be hard to make a case. what about this letter that you have sent asking for answers about what went wrong in benghazi? >> well i have the letter here with me. i could show it to you. i wouldn't change anything. let me be crystal clear as chairman of that committee, and i hope this gets out to other people who are listening about this. >> and i should point out i've got the letter here too. we've gone through it. >> republicans are working overtime to try to exploit a very normal, run of the course, admin strative letter that we agreed to on a bipartisan basis in our committee, simply to get some additional questions put in front of the state department that are part of their already existing investigation. this is not a challenge. it is nothing new. it is not something out of the ordinary. and i agreed to do it as a matter of bipartisanship because we thought these were importa

fbi is on the ground. if we treat the al qaeda elements that attacked our consulate and american citizens --. jenna: you're comfortable calling them al qaeda elements. >> that's what the secretary of state said there was al qaeda connection, al qaeda in the meg greg. whatever you want to call them they're radical extremists that killed innocent americans and trying to undermined the libyan people. they should be held as enemy combattants not as common criminals if we catch them. jenna: we're waiting for fbi to get into benghazi. we're being told that the security situation is not secure enough for them to go in. something about that doesn't make sense. we're the most powerful nation in the world yet the fbi can't go into benghazi? why? >> when qaddafi fell the militias are providing security throughout the country and throughout different regions in the country. there is no strong central libyan army. john mccain and i went to libya months ago and came back, listen, spend all your time and attention buildi
